Visit the diplomatic enclave and you will come across a huge looming 8 story structure that is the new US embassy. The building is currently under construction and is going to be the worlds largest embassy. Under the newly approved Floor Area Ratio (FAR), the CDA has allowed construction over an area of 1.73 million sq ft while the allowable FAR area is 5.627 sq ft.
The structure is a nuclear safe fortress, with blast proof walls. It will accommodate more than 5000 people at a time while housing up to 1000 armed/unarmed vehicles. If as the purpose of the embassy is to connect with the people of Pakistan then Washington needs to reconsider its policy, as these new structures cut off the diplomats from the rest of the world. The height of the building is another cause for apprehension as it will allow surveillance of the surrounding area. All in all, the question arises that why is an impenetrable structure being built on the land of Pakistan?
Has anyone objected to the construction or have they all been silenced? Are we susceptible to an attack from the inside now? And most importantly why is such a building required?
